Hello friends!!!
Having fun this weekend. :)
I
so hope to catch Edward n Bella getting married tomorrow.But not able to find
company only…hubby says go alone or take a friend but he is not watching it. :~
Anyways coming back to the
product of discussion.Its a foundation today.All of you know how important a
foundation is when it comes to good makeup.Foundation goes wrong then all your
efforts go down the drain straightway. To tell you the truth I absolutely hate
any kind of mask on me.They make me feel so plastic and fake.The fact that the
indian market has a shade issue also contributes. :/ I have tried Revlon
colorstay, lakme 9 to 5, lakme perfect radiance, l’oreal but every single time
it failed to impress me. So when I got this Invisible finish foundation months
back I was not expecting anything out of it. It was just that it matched my
skin tone perfectly so I thought why not and anyways its just for 185 rupees.
:P
The shade I have is 02. It has
6 shades I guess.So most likely you will find yours too. :)

My Experience:
I totally love this.yes yes!!! You heard me right ;) This
the first foundation that I have developed a liking for.its very light and
blends into the skin without making it look streaky or patchy and the shade is
just bang on. Ok.may be a little on the yellow side but it suit me perfectly.Who
knew such an inexpensive thin was going to suit me so well.
The product comes inn a heavy frosted glass packaging with a
trademark lakme maroon cap.It has a spatula attached to the cap so you don’t
need to take out the liquid by tilting the bottle but it becomes messy coz the
texture is very liquidy.So you need to be careful if you don’t want to stain
anything.
A close look at the swatch.
See.how it blends and evens out the skin tone. I hope you
can see the difference.
It gives medium coverage and that is fine with me as I hate
the full coverage look.You can use it as a tinted moisturizer also .The only
con is that it does not stick to your face. :( it transfers to anything and
everything that it comes in contact with. Your cell phone , your shirt, bag…like
whatever.So its definitely not for summers. Since its already winters in most
parts of india just check this out if you still have not found your
shade/finish of foundation. Its definitely not my HG,but yes for now I am happy
with this.
Summing up my experience.
Good Points:
1. Blends very easily without
streaking.
2. Love how it adds a subtle glow to my face without looking patchy or the white cast. ;)
3. Does not moisturize but does not dry
either.
4. Has the right amount of yellow ness
for the indian complexion.
5. It actually gives invisible finish.
So apt for everyday use.
6. Has a mild soothing cucumberish smell
:P
7. Has SPF.
8. Reasonably priced.
Not so good points:
1. The spatula makes it messy sometimes as the foundation drips
everywhere.
2. Transfers to every single thing it comes in contact with.
3. Does not last long and kind of melts in heat.So strictly not
for summers.
4. Does not cover dark spots if you have any.
My rating: 4 out
of 5 if only they improvise on the transfer thing and
staying power I would definitely give it full marks.
Will I buy it again:
Yes . It’s a very good economic option for regular use. I have used this
foundation in all of my FOTDs. ;)
Final word: You
should definitely give this a try. I admit it not the best out there but with the quality and price it works real nice for
regular use.If you need full coverage
foundation or something for those special occasions, you can skip this.
Hope you like it.
Luv
Jyo :)
